Residents get mosquito nets in Mbarara
A Canadian-based NGO, BUY-A-NET, has donated over 400 insecdicide-treated mosquito nets to children and expectant women in Nyarubungo, Rwampara country. The project director, Nancy Stevens, last week said, the nets would help reduce the child mortality rate. "The biggest percentage of children who die before the age of five, die of malaria." The district Chairman, Wilberforce Yaguma, thanked the group for the donation.
So, that's the newspaper article. We were pleasantly surprised to see that it made the paper. People know we are here, they know why, and they know what we are going to do. We form relationships with the people here,and we are welcomed with open arms. I can't tell you enough, the difference these nets are making in prevention of malaria, and death!
Love to you all, Nancy

Hi Nancy. Glad to hear to are being recognized by the media. On the home front, this Friday is dad's birthday. I got him a really nice oil skin coat. I'll be sure to put your name on the card. Aunt Pat and I are going to the Sen's game this Thursday night, I won tickets through work. She's so excited. Nanners had a kidney infection and the hospital gave her the wrong meds. She had a reaction to it but she's on the right meds now and mom went and spoke with the hospital chair. Anyhow, that's about all on this end. Miss you. Stay safe and enjoy these last weeks. Love you.
